If we wanted a manager to work with a small group of players that had limited ability and get the best out of them by stifling the opposition and hard work we appoint someone like Tony Pulis who might be available soon I hear.

We've made a step forward in the type of player we have and need someone to bring the best out of a bigger squad that includes some stars that don't want to run up hills but could do us a job on the pitch. We don't want to completely re-invent the way that we play, we need to evolve it. Michael O'Neill is a unproven Pulis - if that's the option we may as well stick.
